Great line in the longrun, the designs were as simple as you got, but the fact that all those characters were being released was pretty amazing. Helped establish Marvel's toys in general, like the Toy Biz line from the 90s, as using at that time, lesser popular characters.

Would've liked to have seen the rumored Hulk prototype, but it's never been confirmed. Plus, that mold would've broken the bank. Unless the repainted a He-Man figure green.

Growing up in the 80's we truly had some of the greatest toy lines, many of which I'm still a big fan of today. But, if I had to choose my all time favorite , it would have to be the Super Powers line. Hands down it's the most pure line of all time (1 Superman, 1 Batman etc), the power gimmicks were innovative and set the standard for toy lines to come like Thundercats and the Marvel Toy Biz line. Packaging and trade dress were explosive and that art by José Luis García-López just can't be beat.
